Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In these circumstances we must hold that the order in question does not meet the essential requirements of a judgment for contempt. Such a judgment should clearly state in what respect the court’s previous order has been violated. It must contain specific findings so that the contemner will be fully apprised of his alleged act of misconduct so that he may overcome by proof, if any is available, the presumption of validity of the order. The present order fails to meet this test.””
